SAMPAN: A Smart Surveillance Strategy for Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
FY 2019-20
Summary
Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes severe infections in hospitalized patients. The worldwide emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria makes infections by these pathogens almost untreatable. The World Health Organization now ranks Pseudomonas bacteria highest in the list of 'urgent threats'. Information for action to prevent further emergence has to come from insight into sources and transmission routes through smart surveillance. At present, a smart surveillance strategy is proposed as a surveillance system in kink with genomics and epidemiology in real time.
